The struggle to dreamDarkness surrounds my eyesCovering the futurefooling me into falsitiesWatching me struggleLaughing at painThere I ampulling at the blindfoldTelling it to stopTearing at the liesremoving the fabricIt fights meit tells me it's what I wantIt tells me it's best for meIt tells me no one will approveIt withholds loveHow dare I tryThere isn’t a view to see, it insistsBut I don’t trust itThere is more to seemore to feelmore to knowAnd it doesn't get a chance to tell me howBecause without it,I can be me.~Copyright 2014, Mary D'Alba/Spiritualitygirl
